"a
real fucking group... they also make fucking records. They don't just
go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of fucking money"
Iggy Pop
Better
40 years later than never: The follow-up to the first record ever to
bear the Iggy and the Stooges logo - the immortal proto-punk
masterpiece Raw
Power
- will finally be out April 30, when Fat Possum Records releases the
all-new Iggy and the Stooges studio album, Ready
To Die.
Ready
To Die
finds Iggy Pop, guitarist James Williamson and drummer Scott "Rock
Action" Asheton reunited for a full album of all-new material
for the first time since the legendary Raw
Power
sessions, with Mike Watt filling in for the late Ron Asheton on bass.
The results are the closest thing to a time capsule to 1973 - or at
least to Iggy's subsequent efforts with Williamson, including 1977's
Kill
City
and 1979's New
Values
- that rock 'n' roll is likely to proffer in this millennium. The new
album's opening one-two of ‘Burn’ and ‘Sex & Money’ pair
sublimely blunt and self-explanatory subject matter with back alley
razor-blade guitars and a troglodytic rhythmic stomp as intensely
single-minded as Iggy's lyrical statements of intent. Elsewhere on
the album, anthems abound in the form of the most dead-on rallying
cry for the lower-working-class dispossessed to date--the succinctly
and aptly titled ‘Job’ - as well as a title track that mixes a
signature Iggy Pop mission statement of angry desperation with guitar
pyrotechnics that recall those halcyon opening salvos of ‘Search &
Destroy’.
Just
as Iggy exhumed the original Stooges name when he reunited in 2003
with the Asheton brothers, the revival of the Iggy and the Stooges
moniker that first appeared on the cover of Raw
Power
heralded the return of guitarist James Williamson to the fold in
2009, or as Iggy put it then "although 'the Stooges' died with
Ron Asheton, there is still 'Iggy and the Stooges'." As far as
the decision to record and release a new Iggy and the Stooges album
for the first time since 1973, Iggy recently commented:
"My
motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no
longer personal. It's just a pig-headed fucking thing I have that a
real fucking group when they're an older group they also make fucking
records. They don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a
bunch of fucking money..."
